Help Us Grow... one acre at a time.
Farmers Feeding the Flock is Bread of Life's largest annual fundraiser. This endeavor started in 2017 and is an outstanding example of a partnership between our soup kitchen and local agricultural leaders to raise funds to feed the hungry.
How the program works:
-
A local farmer provides acreage for planting.
-
Bread of Life asks for in-kind gifts from local agriculture businesses as well as donations from our donors to help offset the cost of soil preparation, planting, fertilization, and harvest.
-
After the growing season, crops are harvested and sold.
-
Greensburg Community Bread of Life then receives all net profits to support expansion needs.
Would you consider partnering with Bread of Life by "helping us grow..one acre at a time"? Any donation, no matter its size, will make a difference in the lives of the people we serve.
2023 Farmers Feeding the Flock
The Fogg Family has donated a field on SW60 in Decatur County. The field was planted on April 14, 2023, but the soybeans didn't begin to emerge until around May 8 due to cool temps, but the seed was treated when planted. Recent rains have helped increase growth.
Stay tuned here for continued field updates.
